This is to ensure that the Councils’ capital investment plans are affordable, prudent and sustainable. 1.3 Consequently, this report fulfils the requirements under the TM Code to present the TMSS and AIS before the start of the new financial year, including the Prudential Indicators, for the next three years 2014/15-2016/17. 1.4 The report also considers the expected treasury position, the proposed strategy for borrowing, and the prospects for interest rates in the prevailing economic conditions, all of which together set the context in which treasury management decisions will be taken. 1.5 Each Council is responsible for its own treasury management decisions and activity. No treasury management activity is without risk. The successful identification, monitoring and control of risk is an important and integral element of treasury management activities. Hence, these considerations have been incorporated within the strategies presented in this report. The main risks to the Councils’ treasury management activities are: R10bb Joint Treasury M’ment Strategy St’ment 1 Joint Strategic Committee 06.02.14 Agenda Item No: 5 & Annual Investment Strategy Joint Governance & Audit 20.03.14 Agenda Item No: xx 5 1.0 BACKGROUND • Liquidity Risk (Inadequate cash resources) • Market or Interest Rate Risk (Fluctuations in interest rate levels) • Inflation Risk (Exposure to inflation) • Credit and Counterparty Risk (Security of Investments) • Refinancing Risk (Impact of debt maturing in future years) • Legal and Regulatory Risk 1.6 In managing these risks consideration has been given to the impact of the Councils’ Revenue Budget and Capital Programme on the Balance Sheet position, the current Treasury position projected forward (Appendix A), the outlook for interest rates (Section 3), and the Prudential Indicators & Limits for borrowing. 1.7 To summarise, the purpose of this TMSS and AIS report is to: • Approve the Proposed Treasury Management Strategy for 2014/15-2016/17 (Borrowing - Section 4, and Debt Rescheduling - Section 5) • Approve the Joint Annual Investment Policy & Strategy (Section 6) • Approve the Prudential Indicators for 2014/15-2016/17 (Appendix B) • Approve the Minimum Revenue Provisions (MRP) Statement for 2014/15 (Section 8) • Approve the use of Specified and Non-Specified Investments 2014/15 (Appendix C) • Note The scheme of delegations (Appendix D) • Note any other matters of significance (Section 11) 2.0 BALANCE SHEET AND TREASURY POSITION 2.1 The Councils’ expected treasury portfolio at 31 March 2014, with forward projections, is summarised below. The Table compares the underlying need to borrow for Capital purposes (the Capital Financing Requirement, or CFR) with the projected external debt (the treasury management operations) highlighting any over or under borrowing position for capital investment purposes. For Adur, the comparison is expanded to show the General Fund and Housing Revenue Account (HRA) elements.

  • Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex
    Habitat Action Plan for Sussex Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex 1. Introduction and Definition One of the most urgent environmental problems we are facing in the 21 st Century is the loss of global biodiversity. As 90% of the population live in cities, towns and villages, it is here that this loss will have the most impact on our quality of life. The increasing density and the intensity of urban living has a major impact on the environment and our use of natural resources. Although we are part of the problem, we are also part of the solution. People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex sets out the action necessary to maintain and enhance the variety of life all around us. The underlying principle of People and Wildlife (Sussex Urban BAP) is that a healthy environment is an essential requirement for both our quality of life and for wildlife. We can achieve this through changing our attitudes and actions towards the natural environment within our everyday lives by: • Encouraging everyone to make environmentally informed decisions as our actions can and do affect the environment; • Looking at actions we can take as individuals or as members of a community based group, part of a school or college, employer or employee of a business or as decision-makers who help shape local policies; • Recognising that biodiversity is an essential indicator of the health of the environment and hence our quality of life. The Government has made clear the links between biodiversity, quality of life and sustainable development.

  • Beach Recharge in Sussex & East Kent
    BEACH RECHARGE IN SUSSEX & EAST KENT: A PRELIMINARY INVENTORY & OVERVIEW Compiled by R. Williams, edited by C. Moses. Not to be quoted without permission 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................1 2 Inventory of beach recharge schemes ..............................................................................5 3 Notes and sources ............................................................................................................9 4 Conclusion ......................................................................................................................17 5 References......................................................................................................................21 1 Introduction Sand and shingle are being lost from many beaches in Sussex and Kent as a result of natural coastal processes as well as ill-designed sea defence and coastal protection schemes. To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle. Several terms are currently employed to refer to the artificial provision of extra beach material, but there is disagreement about their precise definition. For the purpose of this report, beach nourishment (or beach replenishment) is defined as the supply of material that has been dredged from the seabed or extracted from inland sand and gravel pits. Beach recycling is defined as the removal

  • Walking and Cycling Strategy 2016-2026
    West Sussex Walking and Cycling Strategy 2016–2026 www.westsussex.gov.uk Contents Foreword p4 Chapter 1 Introduction p5 Chapter 2 Existing situation p9 Approach to Infrastructure Design Chapter 3 p17 and Safety Chapter 4 Supporting Activities p21 Chapter 5 Infrastructure Priorities p26 Chapter 6 Delivering the Strategy p28 Appendix 1 Full list of schemes entered by p30 stakeholders sub-divided by scheme type and prioritised by Sustrans’ ‘Rate’ tool ranking Appendix 2 Walking and cycling case study p47 examples Appendix 3 Cycling marketing segmentation and p49 propensity to cycle evidence information 3 Foreword Making the most of active travel is important because it contributes to environmental protection, economic enhancement and improving public health. Increasing levels of walking and cycling - particularly for shorter journeys, or as part of a longer journey - will help to tackle poor air quality, which can cause or exacerbate respiratory diseases such as asthma, and tackle health problems linked with sedentary living thereby reducing NHS costs. Reducing traffic congestion will also have a positive impact on our economy as less time will be spent stuck in traffic and make West Sussex a more attractive place to live and do business. It is therefore important that we recognise walking and cycling as a key part of the transport mix, making improvements that promote these modes as the natural choice for shorter journeys. The West Sussex Walking and Cycling Strategy is designed to complement the Government’s emerging Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy and sets out the County Council’s aims and objectives for walking and cycling together with our priorities for investment in infrastructure improvements.

The records which form the basis for this work were made by the dedicated fieldwork of the members of the Sussex Botanical Recording Society (SBRS), The Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI), the British Bryological Society (BBS), The British Lichen Society (BLS) and other keen enthusiasts. This data is held by the nominated County Recorders. The Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre (SxBRC) compiled the tables of the Sussex rare Bryophytes and Lichens. It is important to note that the many contributors to the text gave their time freely and with generosity to ensure this work was completed within a tight timescale. Many of the contributions were typed by Rita Hemsley. Special thanks must go to Alan Knapp for compiling and formatting all the computerised text.

LEON BRITTAN QC MP SECRETARY 0? STA1E FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT PROPOSALS FOR THE FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE COUNTY OF WEST SUSSEX 1. The last order under section 51 of the Local Government Act 1972 in relation to the electoral arrangements for districts in the county of West Sussex was made on 7 May 1980. As required by section 63 and Schedule 9 of the Act, we have now reviewed the electoral arrangements for that county, using the procedures which we had set out in our Report No. 6. 2. The Act contains no provisions about the size of councils. For the 1973 elections of the new authorities the Home Office, after consultation with local authority associations, decided that, save in exceptional circumstances, the number of councillors for counties should be in the range 60-100. We announced in our Report No. 6 of November 1973 that we proposed to use the same range for our reviews under Schedule 9. We corresponded during the summer and autumn of 1975 with all the non-metropolitan county councils about this range of council sizes, setting out the principles to be followed by the councils when considering their future position within that range.
